Howard McGhee • Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

 



A contemporary of Dizzy Gillespie, Howard McGhee (1918-1987) was one of the most stimulating trumpeters of the bop era. Although personal problems sidelined him for part of the 50s, his great experience compensated for much of the time lost when he made his comeback in the early 60s. In fact, on Nobody Knows You When Youre Down and Out, recorded in 1962, McGhee sounds even better than before - engaging and emotional without compromising his strength while supported by two excellent rhythm sections, one with pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Art Taylor, and the other with organist Phil Porter, bassist Larry Ridley and drummer Dave Bailey.

On the second album included here, House Warmin!, recorded a few months earlier. McGhee shares the front line with tenorman Gene Ammons. The rhythm section includes the quasi-urbane sound of guitarist Jake Fisher, bassist Barney Richmond and drummer Willie Mashburn, who have an essential role in building a program reflecting the infinite variety to be found in the rhythm-and-blues field.

Contemporáneo de Dizzy Gillespie, Howard McGhee (1918-1987) fue uno de los trompetistas más estimulantes de la era del bop. Aunque los problemas personales le marginaron durante parte de los años 50, su gran experiencia compensó gran parte del tiempo perdido cuando regresó a principios de los 60. De hecho, en Nobody Knows You When Youre Down and Out, grabado en 1962, McGhee suena incluso mejor que antes: atractivo y emocional sin comprometer su fuerza, mientras se apoya en dos excelentes secciones rítmicas, una con el pianista Jimmy Jones, el bajista Ron Carter y el baterista Art Taylor, y la otra con el organista Phil Porter, el bajista Larry Ridley y el baterista Dave Bailey.

En el segundo álbum incluido aquí, House Warmin!, grabado unos meses antes. McGhee comparte la primera línea con el tenor Gene Ammons. La sección rítmica incluye el sonido casi urbano del guitarrista Jake Fisher, el bajista Barney Richmond y el baterista Willie Mashburn, que tienen un papel esencial en la construcción de un programa que refleja la infinita variedad que se puede encontrar en el campo del rhythm-and-blues.
